Book Blitz + Giveaway: Such a Secret Place by Cortney Pearson

Raids splatter across
the news--Arcaian soldiers are stealing magic left and right, using it
against the people they steal it from.

When sixteen-year-old
Ambry Csille's brother gets taken in one of these raids, her utter fear
and panic should be enough to invoke tears in any normal world. But for
Ambry, tears are a thing of the past.

Because of a spell, people
can no longer feel emotion; not enough to cry, and definitely not enough
to defend themselves against the tyrannical soldiers stealing her
people’s magic. A rare vial of enchanted tears chooses Ambry to reverse
the spell, and soon she finds herself the target not only of the
Arcaians, but of battle-scarred Talon Haraway, who wants the tears for
his own reasons.

All Ambry wants is to rescue her brother, but
when her tears get stolen, Ambry determines to work with Talon to get
them back. Any day the Arcaians could drink her tears. Any day they’ll
succeed at draining her people's magic completely, and all hope will be
gone—not only for her brother, but for her world.
